Holocaust denial may have started in Europe after World War II but now in
the early twenty-first century, it has become an international movement.
It has spread from Europe throughout the world with Holocaust deniers
active in almost every country. Several books appeared in the late 1980s
and early 1990s that traced the state of Holocaust denial in that era.
Deborah Lipstadtâs Denying the Holocaust: The Growing Assault on Truth
and Memory appeared in 1993, and it made a major impact in the study of
Holocaust denial. Gill Seidelâs Holocaust Denial: Antisemitism, Racism
and the New Right (1986) and Kenneth S. Sternâs Holocaust Denial (1993)
were two others that made major contributions to the understanding of the
Holocaust denial movement. It has been more than a decade since these
books appeared, and there has been no attempt to bring the Holocaust
denial movement up-to-date. The importance of an update is in keeping with
Sternâs conclusion in 2001.
